Zimm Gives Free Passes to Gun Show
Thursday, July 30th, 2009A little something for the ladies: After his three-run homer in the fourth inning of a game the Nats eventually lost, Zimmerman shows how swole he is (all natural), followed by the “it’s no big deal (of course it is)” face:
As Jamie noted via Twitter after the homer, it is Zimm’s 19th of the season, [...]
Safe Travels, George Sherrill, And May Your Brim Always Be Fresh
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Finally, between the massive combined shitpile that is the O’s and Nats, a player was traded. George Sherrill has been dealt to the Dodgers in exchange for 3B Josh Bell and SP Steve Johnson.
Bell, from what I can gather, is a decent prospect at a position that will need to be filled soon. He was [...]
To Clarify: Clinton Portis, Not Gay
Thursday, July 30th, 2009This could’ve gone as an update to our ongoing coverage of training camp, day 1, but I thought it deserved its own moment in the sun. Here’s what Clinton Portis had to say when Steinz asked him today about his blond hair:
“Why did I go blond?” he repeated. “I just felt like doing something different. [...]
Redskins Training Camp Day 1 Live Blog
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Well, not actually a live blog per se, but there are so many media types tweeting from Redskins Park today that we set this up for the non-Twitter addicted Skins fans among us. Follow along right here all day long …

DMV: Suck It, Parcells. You Too, Landry.
Thursday, July 30th, 2009DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
Sporting News names the 50 greatest coaches of all time, and Joe Gibbs comes in at No. 17 (Tom Landry is 18 and Bill Parcells 33). No other area coaches make the list, which, considering Earl Weaver, is a shame. [Sporting News]
Jason Campbell sees good [...]
Cooley Mocks Cowboys Players, Fans
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009As you may have seen, Chris and Tanner Cooley posted two videos (here and here) on their blog this week spoofing the NFL’s “fantasy files” commercials. They were both intended to mock Jason Witten and Tony Romo. Whether or not they achieved that goal is up for dispute, although I appreciate the effort, I suppose.
As [...]
DMV: Too Late for Nyjer to Win the MVP?
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
Since acquiring Nyjer Morgan almost one month ago, the Nats have won 39 percent more games, scored 14 percent more runs and allowed 15 percent fewer runs. How much of that is attributed to Morgan I don’t know, but he has played a stellar CF, [...]
DMV: Willingham Must Really Want Out
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links. [Ed. Note: Today's version was a Jamie-Chris collaboration.]
Josh Willingham hits two grand slams in back-to-back at-bats (watch it here), which is great news for the Nats — and Josh — because it boosts his trade value. Oh, and they won. [Nationals Journal]
It was win No. [...]

Monday, July 27th, 2009Catch part one of the interview here, and read on for part two, which covers his column, critical bloggers, favorite stories, Twitter, ballin’ with Obama and battling with Thom Loverro. Again, we thank Mr. Wise for his time.
6. As the Post’s most active general sports columnist, are you allowed to write about pretty much whatever [...]
